The main course was ‘surf and turf’, sautéed fillet of brill in brown butter and sea purslane, merlot braised ox cheek with asparagus, zucchini and borage, or Gnocchi Textures – Poached and fried gnocchi with sweet corn velouté, wild mushrooms, asparagus, peas and pea shoots with shaved parmesan.

An innovative dessert was designed to get guests talking. Guests were served bowls of creamy vanilla crème brûlée, they could then forage in the table centres for their toppings of passion fruit filled chocolate frogs, aerated chocolate sponge biscotti, mocha mushroom meringues, pickled blueberries, baked white chocolate cobbles, fresh strawberries and caramel soil._ARY9035
